On Wednesday, I got an sms from college saying I have to come to college on Friday for an certificate award ceremony. I was like.. eh? What certificate? Turns out it was a certificate of participation because I was involved in their ART Carnival Showcase in 2008.. see how long it took them to give it out? Plus some other certs too for other people.

So I went at college at almost 2 pm, met up with my friend and waited until 3 pm.. then there met up with my other friends, camwhored, then after receiving my cert, we left, lol and went to Curve/e@Curve to watch a movie. We wanted to watch ‘How to train your dragon’ in 3D but 3D is no more! Wtf. And only seats left were from second row and having experience sitting in second row before, hurting my neck and eyes, we waited until the booked seats were released.. so we went to eat at Sakae Sushi first.

The movie was awesome! It’s actually very entertaining and funnier than I thought.. although I almost fell asleep because I was tired (woke up at 4 am), but I managed to stay awake throughout the whole movie… and the whole experience would’ve been awesome except that they were some kids who were making noises the WHOLE TIME and pisses me off.. it was so annoying! I felt like strangling the kids.. and the parents… if the kids are the kind that cries or make noises a lot, why bother bringing them to a movie?? It’s not like they would watch the movie! Geez.

So anyways, after that we went to Tesco and I got home at around 11 pm..
I was supposed to do stuff today but I ended up sleeping the whole day, wtf.

Omg I installed an OS dammit, something I never thought I could do. I was scared shitless that I would screw up everything and thus render my PC unusable but thank God everything worked out fine 😀 So I decided to install Windows 7 Ultimate because once I saw the GUI in youtube video, and how people keep talking about how good and how fast it is, and much better than Vista that was an epic fail, I decided I’m going to install it. I DESPISE Windows XP. I guess I’ve been using the same ‘windows’ typical look since Windows 95, and that I’m used to Vista and all the glassy aero look.

I can say I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Windows 7 😀 It’s much faster and less buggier than Windows Vista, so far. Love the simple clean look, the taskbar where they’re only (grouped) icons, the changing desktop themes.. everything. If you’ve been wondering whether to update to Windows 7 from XP or Vista, I’d say DO IT. Definitely. I did a clean install cuz I don’t want any trace of Windows XP in my HDD. At first I thought I wanted a dual boot, but nah.. Not going back to XP. Plus I have way too many junks, I want to get rid of them and start fresh. I did backup my stuff. Now, thing is.. there are some things that I forgot to backup like my Photoshop & After Effects plugins/brushes, my yahoo chat.. and I was like FUCK. But turns out Windows 7 moved all my old stuff in a new folder, so I didn’t lose anything.. ain’t that great? So happy about that.

Now I have to reinstall all my stuff again.. including some of my games @_@ Which is gonna be a pain in the ass, cuz they take really long to install. And another thing, I partitioned my own drive 😀 Ahh technology.. before when you need to partition your drive, you have to go to DOS and do it manually, etc and it was very complicated.. now it’s all so easy. I’m actually proud of myself for not screwing up anything this time.

Speaking of screwing up, I screwed up my PR exam yesterday. OMG it was SO HARD. I couldn’t even think properly. Everything that I read, I can’t remember any! So I just wrote whatever shit I can think off, hopefully that, and the multiple choice questions plus assignments would be enough for me to pass.. I can’t hope for an A now, I’m very sad. I would not get over this for a long time.

I tested Second Life in Windows 7… ahh, I forgot how beautiful and tranquil some places in Second life can be… I haven’t logged on for like a year? Almost? It used to be my getaway place when I need to relax, or just temporary forget my real life problems… I used to love to go to a forest or a park or the beach in there, listen to the soft music, nature sounds.. crackling of camp fire, and just stare at the screen for a while. Believe it or not, it helped me to relax and forget my problems. If not, club hopping and just listen to the good music. And if you meet some good people, you can have a good conversation with them. Plus, it’s good for photography.. I love taking snapshots of beautiful places in SL. In December, I’m gonna make my return in SL. If i can’t get real life vacation after graduation showcase is over, I’m vacationing in SL.

I have more to blog but I’ll do it later today. I’m gonna reinstall some stuff now before I have to go to college. God now my final project is giving me a headache. And I can’t find my Microsoft Office 2007 installation file, so I can’t do my pre production stuff for my final project. This is stressing me out. I’m getting stress zits.. and I can’t stand this bad breakouts. I’ve tried a lot of different acne treatments but at last, I go back to wanting the stupid accutane which screws up the menstrual cycle, my mood.. but hey, I’d have a clean, non-oily, zit-less face!

I didn’t have much fun this halloween. Last Friday I went to college, then went to the mall cuz my friend wants to use my laptop then got back at almost 10 pm and fell asleep cuz I’ve been up for 2 days T_T Woke up at 3-something am and watched horror movies. Started with Return of the Living Dead 2.. that movie is a joke. I LOVED Return of the Living Dead.. but in part 2, the 2 main characters/actors are back…but part 2 is more like a remake of part 1, but different supporting characters, and quite different stories.. yet same two main actors and exactly like in part 1.. except in part 2 they tried to make the movie funny, and the characters all goofy… epic fail I tell you T_T Then I watched PARANORMAL ACTIVITY. This movie is very much hyped about currently. I downloaded the screener copy that was shown in 2007 and it has a different ending than theatrical one..The movie is CHILLING, which is unexpected. The original ending is SO MUCH better than theatrical.

I have a cold. It was raining extremely heavily yesterday’s morning.

I bought some candies for halloween… I’m never eating atomic fireball candy every again in my life. It’s fucking torture. I still have one more though.. gonna try and eat it and see how long I can last with that candy in my mouth. Good candy to play a prank on people who have never tasted it. I also bought some other expensive candies and lollies and I feel sick eating them.

PR assignment is fucking done! God, one burden is out of the way. Now I can concentrate on shooting, studying for PR exam and the showcase.

Yesterday I finally received my original HORI screen protector for the DSi. 😀

I ordered it from play-asia less than 2 weeks ago and it finally reached me. I got the fake screen protector when I bought the DSi which is normal in Malaysia and I screwed it up. I didn’t know how to put it on so it had scratches and holes on it. But this HORI one is soooo fricken easy to put on and it sticks flawlessly, like it’s not even on the screen. You have no idea how happy I am that the screen is brighter again.

Then I found out about this iPlayer that can play basically mostly any format on the DS/DSi but it’s quite expensive. USD$36+USD$20 shipping (I could opt for free shipping but it’ll take ages). I hate having to convert all videos into DPG before I can put it on my DSi. I’ll get it soon.

My PR class… suddenly we’re told that our last assignment would be a fricken group assignment.. URRRRRGHHHH! I hate this. I thought this semester we could avoid that but nooooo. I HATE group assignment. I’m already rushing for time for my final project and graduation showcase, now I have to worry on group project. Thing is, there’s 7 people in my group. I’m the only girl. And today in class, all we did during discussion was laugh like hell cuz the guys were being perverts that are into beastiality haha. I’m scared it’ll end up having only 2 or 3 people that will do the work. Oh well we’ll see. I usually don’t have good luck with group project.

We lost another icon this month. First MJ, now her. She was a famous Malaysian director, although I don’t really like her movies but I admire her for being a successful director. Life is so short. She was just giving proposal presentation couple of days ago, she collapsed, she was in coma after that and tonight she passed away. She was only 51 (like MJ, he was 50). So sad. May she rest in peace.

On the other hand, I’ve been having fever since yesterday. I’ve been feeling really awful and I spent last night and whole day today sleeping. Gah. Good thing is that my terrible migrain has stopped, so my head is not throbbing like it’s gonna burst anymore, but I do have bad spinning headache, sore throat, coughing and nose block still. Because I was sick yesterday, I didn’t stay for the MJ tribute they had at college. Blah.
